DAY:21

 

Oh my God!!! Seriously what a day!!!

I haven’t felt this great in so long…. You can’t compare anything to a day with your best friends.

I had to wash the car today. I knew if I left it for later, I wouldn’t do it. So, for the first time in days, I woke up at nine-thirty. Though, I got off my bed only around ten. The first thing I did even before brushing my teeth, was go down to the basement and wash the car. Since it was still pretty clean from the previous wash, there wasn’t much to clean. I first dusted, then wiped it with a wet cloth and the wiped it dry again. When came back up, all sorts of animals were running in my stomach. I thought we had something special for breakfast, seeing how excited amma was. Not till I looked at my plate did I realise it was just upma, I have no clue why she was excited making upma.

I went to bed to lie down for a while because I was super lazy to take a bath and get ready. That’s when Sheela texted “let’s dress up”. I wasn’t really into it at first, but she was sending so many options to wear for herself, I too got motivated to dress up. I even “ironed my clothes”. We decided to wear kurtis, and for past 5 months kurtis have been in some back corner of my wardrobe wrinkled and collecting dust. After ironing, I went to shower, but in this short time Sheela lost her interest and we went back to jeans, my jeans haven’t been washed in a long time, and currently I have only one pair of good jeans, I’m waiting for the pandemic to pass before shopping again.

I stuck to the kurti, as I had nothing else to wear. Since I’m just waiting for chances to wear chechi’s new lipstick, I dolled up and left home. Just to come back and get my mask. Oh, how I hate these masks, couldn’t even flaunt the lipstick.  

Sheela and I met first. We had some time, so we got a couple of chips and coca cola, and headed straight to Prarthana’s place. As soon as the doors opened, all three of us were ecstatic. Our happiness was just uncontainable. We weren’t seeing each other after ages, nor did we have any crazy plan. We were just excited to sit and talk. It’s been so long since it was just the three of us, and there was so much to be said, and so much we couldn’t tell anybody else, we just took turns and kept talking. Around four-thirty, in the middle of all the talking we forgot about the eating part. Sheela had gone to use the washroom, and I went to make some Maggie. Let me make something clear, you can make Maggie in anything. When will these MasterChef cooks realise this? Sheela disapproved my choice of utensil, and hijacked my Maggie mission. As she slaved away in the kitchen, Prarthana and I were in our own world. With some people it doesn’t matter what exactly you are talking, you can enjoy anything. Even what might have been your biggest problem, just fifteen minutes back, you can laugh at it with them. As we were laughing away at our lame jokes, our Maggie was ready, and our official waitress served it for us. It’s not that we never take initiatives to help around with food, she just has trust issues when it comes to what she eats, and as good friends, we help her by doing nothing. While eating Maggie, we tried to watch Dil mil gaye. This was a serial all of us watched in school. DON’T JUDGE US, everyone enjoyed weird things as kids, and I will still advocate for this show, it was cute, and I had a huge crush on that guy. I still do when I’m bored, it’s my guilty pleasure; STOP JUDGING.

After finishing the Maggie, which wasn’t up to the mark, I never expected this from Sheela. You need to up your game. We went to lie on the bed, we we’re so sleepy and tired, but Sheela was on call with her dad, and went on talking for so long and right in front of us, our effort’s that should have gone towards the nap went into making fun of her. Prarthana can really crack the most gloomy and tired person. But it’s a limited offer; only closest friends and family.  As we lay on the bed, dead tired, staring at the roof, filled with the glowing star’s and moons, reality struck. It was seven and the sky outside was dark, it was now time for us to return home. As we started gathering our things, amma called to check when I’m coming back, I told her I was just about to leave. And so the three of us parted. We weren’t sad the day was over, because we spent such an amazing time together, the memories could keep us happy a lifetime, or at-least till the next time.

I reached home, and all I wanted to think was how awesome today was, but this thought kept getting interrupted because I knew I still have to do my workout. I was exhausted I didn’t have it in me to do it, I  was glad, at-least I was done washing the car. I got on my bed and relaxed for a while and tried to get back some the strength to do the workout. At eight-thirty I got up and dragged amma along, because “we no quitters” and started our workout. I stuck to the low impact variations, and somehow managed to get through the whole thing.  By the time we were done, every inch of my body felt dead, I could no longer move, and I just laid on bed watching YouTube, with no track of time. Twelve-thirty when Prarthana texted “happy Bithday Sheela!!!”, was when I dragged myself back to life. The three of us video called and talked for almost half-an-hour. Please don’t ask me what we talk for so long, we ourselves have no clue.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHEELA!!!!

Eventually, watching YouTube I fell asleep.

PS: We didn’t take any pictures today, but it’s not that hard to imagine, three girls sitting and talking for hours like idiots, enjoying every bit of it
